Two parish councillor vacancies are available. Eligible residents are invited to apply by Thursday 26 February, with appointments to be made at the March Full Council meeting.
Councillor Vacancies to Be Filled by Co-option
West Lindsey District Council has confirmed that no election was requested to fill the two recent councillor vacancies created by resignations from Saxilby with Ingleby Parish Council. As a result, the Parish Council is required to fill both positions through the process of co-option rather than a public election.
The Parish Council is inviting applications from eligible residents who are interested in helping shape local decisions and represent the community. Appointments will be made at the March Full Council meeting.
To be considered, applications must be submitted by Thursday 26 February.
Eligibility
To stand for co-option to a local council, applicants must meet the standard legal requirements. You must be:
-
A UK or Commonwealth citizen, a citizen of the Republic of Ireland, or a citizen of another EU Member State
-
Aged 18 or over
and meet at least one of the following criteria:
-
Be registered as a local government elector for the parish
-
Have occupied land or premises in the parish (as owner or tenant) for the past 12 months
-
Have your principal or only place of work within the parish for the past 12 months
-
Have lived in the parish or within three miles of its boundary for the past 12 months
How to Apply
Residents wishing to apply should complete the Co-option Application Form and submit it:
-
By email to: clerk@saxilbyparishcouncil.gov.uk
